REMINDER: HUD Section 811 PRA Pre-Applications Due February 8 and 2024 HTC Program Round 2 Applications Due February 22
Minnesota Housing is now accepting applications for Round 2 of the 2024 HTC Program. There is approximately $487,000 in HTCs currently available. The Housing Tax Credits webpage and 2024 HTC Round 2 webpage will be updated if additional HTCs become available. Unlike Round 1, Round 2 establishes a waiting list. If additional HTCs become available throughout the year, we will pull projects from this waitlist for further review. See the 2024-2025 Qualified Allocation Plan for additional information on Round 2 and the waiting list.

Supplemental Priority in HTC Round 2

If more than one project qualifies under the supplemental priority, we will evaluate and rank eligible requests according to points claimed in the Self-Scoring Worksheet.

Market Study Requirements Updates
Projects applying for funding for the 2024 Multifamily Consolidated RFP/2025 HTC Rounds 1 and 2 will no longer be required to submit a market study at application. Market studies are now only required for selected projects and will be collected post selection. This applies to projects applying as a 9% HTC or deferred with a 4% HTC financial structure. A market study will still be required at application/42M for projects applying through the 4% HTC Only round.
More information can be found in our January 18, 2024, eNews.
